Modern city skyline of Jakarta

Here is another submission from Ryan showing a different view of this modern city skyline. Here is his description:


We are, as Indonesian people, always calling the skyline of Jakarta as "Gedung-gedung megah pencakar langit". Or we can say it in a simpler way as "Gedung Pencakar langit" or just "Pencakar langit".

Dominating the sky with its height of 262 meters (859 feet), Wisma 46 is the tallest building pictured in the skyline of this cosmopolitan city. It is truly the icon of Jakarta.

It's unique design and features set it apart from all other commercial buildings, making it a landmark that can be viewed from miles away.

The massive steel structural mast is functional as a telecommunication tower and has a clear line of sight, connecting your company to the cyber corridor of tomorrow.

Located on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman Kav. 1, Jakarta 10220, Indonesia, Wisma 46 is strategically located in the central business district, yet is just outside the three-in-one restricted zones (thus avoiding inconveniences to tenants).

Wisma 46 is part of the 16 hectare of CBD prime land BNI City-within-the-City development that will become a key component of the Manhattan triangle. It is an area bounded by Jl. Jenderal Sudirman, Jl. R.M. Margono and Jl. K.H. Mas Mansyur. The five star Shangri-La Hotel and Shangri-La Residences are part of the overall development project, with future shopping mall and commercial construction planned. This will create a new vision to revitalize the whole area, making it a lively integrated mixed-use development in the heart of the city.


(Steve's Reply): A quick check using Google indicates that the english translation of "Gedung-gedung megah pencakar langit" would be "stately buildings skyscrapers". Thanks very much Ryan for contributing this excellent shot! The Wisma 46 building in the center is quite unique.
